@davejorgenson: Why are lines so long at the airport? It all started with ICE. The White House on Tuesday detailed its counteroffer to congressional Democrats in negotiations to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which has been shut down for more than four weeks leading to long lines at some airports. Democrats have demanded that Republicans agree to new accountability measures for immigration enforcement agents after officials killed two U.S. citizens in Minnesota during the agency’s Operation Metro Surge. In a letter to Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee reviewed by The Washington Post, White House border czar Tom Homan and legislative director James Braid said they took steps toward meeting Democrats’ requests, having “offered to codify improved operational guidelines to its immigration enforcement operations.” Caption from article by Riley Beggin, Emily Davies and Kadia Goba, The Washington Post.
